Also, excuse me if my issue is a little bit application-specific. I need Mechanize to submit bunch of data from our server to an online reservation system. The url ishttp://hajres.iranair.com/haj/request.php" It works in my browser however, using mechanize following error appears: >> agent.get("http://hajres.iranair.com/haj/request.php") Net::HTTP::Get: /haj/request.php

I have a site that I don''t think "returns" a basic_auth request, but is able to use basic_auth. In the past on 0.6.8, I could use the following code: require ''rubygems'' # gem ''mechanize'', ''=0.6.8'' require ''mechanize'' agent = WWW::Mechanize.new agent.basic_auth("username", "password")

I poked around the web a little and didn''t run across how to use https when it asks for certificate validation. I''m trying to connect to devices that don''t have valid certificates, and in this case, I don''t care if they are or not. So when I use my browser to ge to the site, firefox asks me to allow the certificate, then one other question, then I get the

I found an interesting page today that I was trying to script against. The server returns a 404 with content and the page just works normally in firefox despite the 404. Mechanize raises an exception on it though. I''m working on a test case now.

Hello, when trying to access a certain HTML-frame, I get: "in `request'': Unhandled response (WWW::Mechanize::ResponseCodeError)" and the page returns: "400 Bad Request" * Why? * How to solve this? With browser, it works. In the logs below, I marked 4 lines with "***", where I see possible differences in the URI. But I don''t know, if this is

How do you make get the page when using basic_auth? Below is code, I am getting a 401 error. I am not sure if the basic _auth comes before the agent.get. I will appreciate any help. require ''mechanize'' require ''logger'' agent = WWW::Mechanize.new {|a| a.log = Logger.new(STDERR) } page = agent.get(''https://brewx.qualcomm.com/developer'' )

I noticed an interesting problem today when scripting against a web app. The application contained a link in it that used %20 instead of spaces. After running mechanize through the Charles debugging proxy I found that mechanize was converting %20 to %2520 (double escaping the %20). This appears to happen under both 0.5.4 and 0.6.0. Here''s a simple set of files that demonstrate

Hello, I am assembling my first cool algorithms with mechanize and I came across this weird situation. I am trying to get this uri "http://www.relax.si/kratke po?itnice.aspx" like this (with url encoded uri): agent.get("http://relax.si/kratke%20po%u010Ditnice.aspx") and in return I get: WWW::Mechanize::ResponseCodeError: 400 => Net::HTTPBadRequest from

I use this method to retry my requests if there are retrieval problems. def with_retries(num_retries = 4) begin yield rescue Errno::ECONNRESET, Errno::ECONNABORTED, Errno::EHOSTUNREACH, Errno::ECONNREFUSED, Errno::ETIMEDOUT, Timeout::Error, WWW::Mechanize::ResponseCodeError num_retries -= 1 retry unless num_retries < 0 raise end end So I can try three times to get

Hi This may be a dumb question with an obvious answer. It would seem that an input form field identified with an ''id'' qualifier and not with a ''name'' qualifier is not recognised by Mechanize - at least it isn''t in the form field list. Is there any way of getting at these elements or am I, as I suspect, fresh out of luck. But you never know ...

Hi. Recently I started rebuilding my old Mechanize script, which I used to automatically log in to a certain site and retrieve files from it. Old version worked great, however, when I did the update it started complaining. Here''s the log of the error: /Users/lukastolyarov/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/mechanize-1.0.0/lib/mechanize/form/field.rb:30:in `<=>'': undefined method

Hi, This is my first post, I wanted to ask a quick question about "Bad Form" -- rather, am I doing something with Mechanise I shouldn''t be doing? Here''s the long and short of it - I am using Mechanize with Cucumber and RSpec to test a *ahem* Perl XML web service.. talk about technology soup, but I have it working quite well. I have an example project on GitHub that

Hi everyone! Im trying to install mechanizer from http://github.com/tenderlove/mechanize. I`ve clone the project into /tmp folder. When I do rake inside the folder /tmp/mechanizer it gives me this error: mac159180:mechanize renatosis$ rake (in /private/tmp/mechanize) /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby -w -Ilib:bin:test:. -e ''require "rubygems";

Hello, Below I''ve pasted a simple example to reproduce what I say in the subject. I wonder... Is it a bug? Is there any workaround? Thanks! require ''rubygems'' require ''mechanize'' agent = Mechanize.new page = agent.get(''http://google.com/'') google_form = page.form(''f'') google_form.q = ''ruby

hi, a potential mechanize user here. i''ve looked at the API but it''s not clear what capacity there is to arbitrarily set the headers - does mechanize allow for this? mechanize is clearly great for web browsing, but i also need to construct get and post requests from scratch. i''ve looked at net:http, libcurl, openuri, but mechanize seems simpler and more functional than

Hi there Does anyone know if Amazon.com has any sort of server side script that tries to block scraping activities? I first noticed that if I didn?t change the agent alias, it would fetch a page exactly like the normal one, but without the intial search field(maybe a silly way to prevent scraping). Then after it, I changed to some other alias, and submit a search. I got the result page as

I am new to Mechanize and was wondering if there was a built-in method to get the elements that are on the page that are not part of a form. A couple of examples would be my banking site lists my entries and I want them to go into an array so that I can handle them. Or another site I use, does some categorization for me and I would like to manipulate it and present it differently to a user.
